The Video Game Soda Machine Project

Dog Airport Game

January 31, 2020 decafjedi Dog Airport Game

Make no bones about it; these Real Good Puppa soda machines from An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs (a.k.a. Dog Airport Game) deserve all the ear scratches. They even have paw print dispensing buttons!

And, in what might be a video game first, you can pet the dog soda machine in Dog Airport Game!

Developer Xalavier Nelson Jr. of Strange Scaffold was even kind enough to share these behind-the-scenes images of Dog Airport Game, showing off light placement and collisions for the vending machines.

Thanks, Xalavier!

January 31, 2020 decafjedi Paradise Cracked Series

Paradise Cracked

January 31, 2020 decafjedi Paradise Cracked Series

Take a break from the cyberpunk tactical action in Paradise Cracked and enjoy a Fractal Dream soda. Each sip is as indistinguishably refreshing as the entire can! Thanks for the screenshot, Loser Antbear!

Final Fantasy XV : Pocket Edition

January 24, 2020 decafjedi Final Fantasy Series

Neon City Riders

January 24, 2020 decafjedi Neon City Riders

Life in the cyberpunk dystopia of Neon City Riders might be nasty, brutish, and short, but at least there are plenty of soda machines scattered around town.

Lightmatter

January 24, 2020 decafjedi Lightmatter

Avoid the shadows to survive in Lightmatter, a first-person puzzler with “the floor is lava” mechanics, vending machines, and a cat named Lux.

I know cats aren’t soda machines, but how could I resist Lux? 😻

Mega Man Battle Network 4

January 22, 2020 decafjedi Mega Man Series

I assume “electrical store” here is a mistranslation of “electronics store,” and not a hip new name for the vending machines in Mega Man Battle Network 4. [Source]

God Eater Resurrection

January 22, 2020 decafjedi God Eater Series

Nothing washes down a freshly devoured god like an ice-cold soda, but this drink machine from God Eater Resurrection is unfortunately out of order.

Persona 5

January 22, 2020 decafjedi Persona Series

If by “this way” you mean “super thirsty for an ice-cold drink,” I’ve got some great news, Shinya! Thanks for calling this soda machine to my attention, Tikhon!

Get Me Snacks

January 22, 2020 decafjedi Get Me Snacks

Why should some anonymous goose get to have all the fun? Get Me Snacks casts players as a pigeon on a mission to gather food — and the occasional can of soda — while evading an ill-tempered shopkeeper.

A Street Cat’s Tale

January 22, 2020 decafjedi A Street Cat's Tale

I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but this soda machine from A Street Cat’s Tale is the cat’s meow! The kitten’s mittens! The cat’s pajamas! Why, I’d go so far as to say it’s purr-fect. Of course, I wish the cat would scoot along out of the road before curiosity gets it killed. It’s making me as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Thanks to RobBoberty and his daughter for tracking this one down!
